The Twits (Colour Edition)

Product Information

The Twits, who are retired circus trainers, are trying to create the first upside-down monkey circus. Il signor Sporcelli, poi, ha un sogno nel cassetto: addestrare delle scimmie a compiere azioni a testa in giù, capovolte.

During the story four schoolboys are caught instead of birds, but escape by unfastening their trousers and falling to the ground outside the Twits' garden after Mr. Whether you’re already a fan of Dahl’s tale or discovering a new soon-to-be obsession, here’s everything you need to know about The Twits. And while it was cute because the animals were inventive and the evil folks certainly got their comeuppance, it still had me raising my eyebrows. A few key plot points are perhaps a bit too easily glossed over, perhaps because Dahl is writing for a younger audience than his longer books like Matilda and The Witches - it is a much shorter book than either and feels a bit rushed towards the end.

Twit feel that she is shrinking, he slowly extended her chair and cane until she was convinced that she was getting shorter. On a Tuesday night, a group of four boys see the ladder next to this tree and they decided to walk up into it, not thinking or knowing that glue was on it. En Los cretinos vamos a conocer a la señora y el señor Cretino, un horrible matrimonio que pasa los días molestándose entre ellos, compitiendo por ver quien hace la jugarreta más grande al otro.

Asked why he wrote this book, Dahl said that it was meant as an indictment of beards, which he thought were unhygienic. Twit saves herself by biting through some of the balloon strings and slowly lowering herself back to the ground. The rest of the book comprises two unpleasant people being unpleasant to each other in not particularly humorous ways, followed by the addition of monkeys and a magical bird who then outwit them in a rather unconvincing manner. The monkeys are planning to trick the terrible Twits so that they can escape and put a stop to the frightful pair once and for all!They catch innocent birds to put in their Bird Pies and make their monkeys stand on their heads all day. Because he never washes it, his beard holds scraps of food stuck there while he ate, including tinned sardines, Stilton cheese, and corn flakes. His stories also brought him three Edgar Awards: in 1954, for the collection Someone Like You; in 1959, for the story "The Landlady"; and in 1980, for the episode of Tales of the Unexpected based on "Skin".

The Twits, who were once retired circus trainers, continuously abuse a family of monkeys (known as the Muggle-Wumps) that are in their care. Twit keeps monkeys in a cage… Share the children’s opinions about keeping animals in cages in the circus or in zoos etc. Twit designed it that way to prevent people from looking in, not realizing that it also prevents them from looking out.
